Sleepless in Canada

Postby symbas » Sat Jan 11, 2020 9:26 pm

I am a week into MWL,.

I go to bed well satiated, sleep for a few hours, wake up hungry.

I can't go back to sleep til I get up and eat.

I recall this happening a few years ago when I was McDougalling.

Any feedback much appreciated!!

It is challenging to have an idea of what is happening, without more information. Perhaps you could use your journal to record what you eat and your physical activity for several days to help focus in on what might be affecting your sleep. My first thought was that you may not be eating enough earlier in the day, but it could be many things and looking at patterns over time is almost always useful.

Thanks Mark,

It's worth a try , to journal the food that I eat, exercise etc.

Exercise has been minimal the past few days due to frigid temperatures (-42 C with windchill).

Are you consuming caffeine?
